The R-rated Sydney Sweeney movie The Housemaid is making its way to streaming soon. The film sparked considerable buzz at the time of its theatrical release and not only became a box office success but also performed well with audiences and critics.
April is a huge month for Sydney Sweeney fans on streaming
Starz has set the streaming release date for Sydney Sweeney’s The Housemaid to April 1, 2026. The film, which hit theaters on December 19, 2025, and is based on Freida McFadden’s 2022 book of the same name, was released on premium digital and video-on-demand platforms on February 3, 2026.
Notably, next month will be huge for Sweeney and her fans as two of her other projects will be dropping on streaming platforms. Her gritty sports biopic, Christy, will be added to HBO Max’s catalog on April 10. Meanwhile, the highly anticipated third installment of her drama series, Euphoria, arrives two days later on April 12.
Paul Feig directed The Housemaid from a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine. Feig also co-produced the film with Laura Fischer and Todd Lieberman. Besides Sweeney, the movie stars Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar, Michele Morrone, Peter Colandro, Don DiPetta, Lamar Baucom-Slaughter, Indiana Elle, Elizabeth Perkins, Ellen Tamaki, Megan Ferguson, and Amanda Joy Erickson, among others.
Following its release, the film grossed close to $397 million at the global box office. Thanks to this box office success, a sequel, based on McFadden’s second book, The Housemaid’s Secret, has been greenlit, with production beginning in the fall. Feig will reprise directorial duties while Sweeney and Morrone are returning to their roles.
The story follows Millie Calloway, a woman with a gruesome past, who accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for Nina and Andrew Winchester. However, she soon uncovers, to her horror, dark secrets plaguing the couple and their household.
On Rotten Tomatoes, The Housemaid has garnered a 73% “certified fresh” critical score and a 92% “verified hot” audience score. Meanwhile, Metacritic displays a Metascore of 65 and a user score of 6.0 — the former pointing to “generally favorable” reception and the latter representing “mixed or average” views.
